About the Run 4 the Sole
The course covers a short out-and-back route through New London, and the event is untimed, so there is no clock pressure and no results to chase. It raises money for a nonprofit that provides foot disease treatment and shoes to people in Uganda, and a local advocate for that organization is there on course day with a booth where you can learn more about the work.
Root beer floats and some time to sit and talk come after the finish. Same-day registration is available at the start, and the start area also serves as the post-race gathering spot.
